Haynesworth has lost 32 pounds

Because there was so much commotion over Albert Haynesworth skipping the Redskins’ mandatory minicamp in June, people forget that earlier in the offseason, Haynesworth irked Mike Shanahan by choosing to work out on his own, rather than with the team. Part of Haynesworth’s reasoning was that he feels he gains more of a competitive edge working with his own trainer. Now, this from Fredericksburg.com A. Haynesworth (US Presswire) :

Tripp Smith, Haynesworth's personal trainer, said in a phone interview yesterday that Haynesworth has lost 32 pounds since they began their workout regimen on April 5. He said that Haynesworth is committed to getting in top physical shape--albeit away from Redskins Park--for the start of training camp on July 29.

Haynesworth is listed at 350 pounds, but he reportedly weighed 362 in April. Losing weight is great, but likely, the Redskins would rather be monitoring the situation themselves. If Haynesworth is to indeed be the nose tackle in the new 3-4, you don’t want him slimming too far down.

He might bulk up to about 335-340, but adding that much weight on wouldn't be too much of a problem. While Haynesworth may not want to play the nose, he needs to stop being a big baby and do what's best for the team. In this case, Mike Shanahan thinks that's going to a 3-4. And, as a general rule, I'll go with what Shanahan thinks is best for a team over what a player who is concerned with padding his stats thinks. He's concerned his stats will dip, but any GM or head coach worth his salt knows that you don't judge a nose tackle's stats the same way you do a 4-3 DT. [ Reply to Comment ]

Thats about where you want to be for a NT. Now, if he gets down closer to 300 or 310 then yeah, he is probably trying to avoid playing NT. [ Reply to Comment ]

Albert knows he's not getting traded. He doesn't want to play NT in a 3-4 because he doesn't want to sacrifice stats. Well, if he slims down enough, he can possibly move out to one of the ends and still get 7-10 sacks a year. 362 minus 32 equals 330 lbs, just slighty low for a NT in a 3-4. Shanahan's not going to use a skinny guy in the middle. Albert is smarter than we think (or at least his handlers are). [ Reply to Comment ]

He needs to just shut up and play. $100 million, he should scrub toilets if they ask him to. [ Reply to Comment ]
